Track reopening welcomed

By Frank Neill

The Trelissick Park Group has welcomed the repair of the track that runs through the Ngaio Gorge alongside the Kaiwharawhara Stream.

The track has been closed for more than two years following a washout.

Wellington City Council (WCC) closed the track for safety reasons, erecting a barrier at the Kaiwharawhara entrance because of slip stablisiation work on Ngaio Gorge Road.

The closure frustrated people who enjoyed a walk through the magazine building area.

It also frustrated the Trelissick Park Group, which needed to access traps and bait stations and to carry out weed control.

WCC’s contractor has built a new track with steps traversing the slope above the washout.

The track has now been reopened and the slip stabilisation contractor has now opened the barrier at the Kaiwharawhara entrance, restoring access.

Trelissick Park runs through the Ngaio Gorge from Trelssick Crescent in Ngaio to Kaiwharawhara. It is named after the Cornish estates of Captain Daniell, who settled in Ngaio in the 1880s.

The park is ecologically important as it contains a relatively intact urban stream and is a corridor for bird life.

It also contains some interesting history, as near the bottom of the track are historic gunpowder magazines dating from the 1870s.

The Trelissick Park Group plays a large role in restoring the area.

The park also contains theTrelissick Park Loopas well as theSanctuary to Sea Walkway, which takes people throughOtari-Wilton’s Bush, Karori Cemetery and on to Zealandia/Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.
